Tiara Rado offers a fair challenge for all skill levels, but don't let the wide-open feel fool you - the elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers demand thoughtful play. We suggest playing a tee box forward if you're not consistently hitting it long, especially on the back nine's uphill climbs.

Are there any specific holes at Tiara Rado I should pay extra attention to?

Keep a close eye on the par-3 13th - it's a stunner with a dramatic downhill shot to a green guarded by a natural arroyo that swallows errant balls. Also, the finishing stretch from 16-18 demands precision, especially with the wind that often picks up in the afternoons and can make club selection tricky.
